The Making of Tory Education Policy in Post-war Britain, 1950-86 by Christopher Knight

A detailed study of educational policy-making in the modern Conservative Party. It focuses upon the role of Conservative educationalists in the formation and formulation of Tory education policy. The book challenges the conventional wisdom that the Conservatives' education counter-revolution began in 1969 by showing a much earlier genesis to radical Tory thinking on state education.
